THE WRELTNG WATERS.
Disastrous Floods In Different Portions of S4
the Country-Some Details of the Dara
age by the Floods.
BIEMtNGHAM, ALA., April 1.--A
spec~al to the Age from river townis of c
North Alabama, show that the effects tu
of the freshet are greater even than e:
telegraphed yesterday. Gadsden re- f!
ports the Coosa rtver at ts highest tl
mark, and still rising with alarinig
reports from above. All railroad c,
bridg'es on the branch road between d
Atlanta and Gadsden are swept away,
and a unmber of washouts- on the il
Alabama Great Southern are reported C
on both sides if Atianta. The mill b
and lumber interests at Gadsden su:
fered immense damage. The Tennes- u
see river is reported out of its banks t
-at several points. From Tuscalo sa, J
on the Ma ion river, advices are V
serious, though it is believed the t
worst has pa.-ed. MNany houses one
:ither side of ilie river have be'iz
abandoned, and water is running s
through the doors and windows. Soi e
families occupy npper stories of dwel-. a
ling, and skiffs and flat boats are used i
for transportation. The village of -
North Point across the river from i
Tuscaloosa, is almost submerged now j
and the iron bridge connecting the (
two places is - nder water at both e- ds,
and fears art- e,. ertuind for its -aity.
Fne water i, a toot deep in tie l'ua- (
,caloosa cotu factory, and work ht I
to be abandoned. Just betore dar., I
-the wreck ot a siel house paaoed -
.down the river, and several perwons I
were observed clinzing to tue timoer. i
Rescuing partit s in skiffs started out I
in pursuOi from the Tu.%catoosa shore.
aud were rapittly borne out ot sight <
by the rapti current.
Mauy er-ons living on low lands i
below fu.<caloosa had to be rescued i
from thir homes in -kiffs. No calcu- i
lation .an be made of -the amount of a
dasmage done to farming interests, to I
railroads and other highways. From i
places with telegraphic facilities. come
the same repart<A of no trains and no
maUta since Monday night. Regular
trains on roads centering here have
been discontinued till further orders, 1
3ad no work is being done by the I
company's employes except in repairs i
and constructing. Rumors reach here i
of loss of life in the Coosa river valley. i
RICmoiND, April 1. -'t he James
Eiver at this point has been rising
steadily all day, and at this hour (6
m.,) nearly all that portion of the
v known as the Docketts is sub
Vtweged to a depth of eight to ten feet.
26Rater has also invaded the streets
lbodt the old market, between 15th
and-18th streets, cutting off communi
cition between the upper and lower
part of the city %xcept by boats or by
. going a long distance around towards
the north. Street cars run only as far
down as the St. Charles Hotel, corner
of 15th and Main streets.
!The precautions taken by the people
gen'eratly in the threatened districts
in removing goods to places of safety
will keep the damage down to corn
paratively small figures. Many poor
families living in the "Rockets'' have
,been.driven from their homes . and
Enae o seek shelter elsewhere. From
resent indications this flood will
equal, if not surpass, those of 1870 and
1877. A portion of the gas works is
also submerged and it is probable that
the gis will have to be cut off during
he night.
*The water at 11 o'clock to-night was
within two feet of the floor of the
bridge across the river at the Tredegar
iron works, while in the blacksmith
ad mnachine shops- f the -Tredegar
words it is nearly a foot deep. The
rolling works are still at work. As
yet no- serious fears are entertainedl
for the safety of any of the bridges
crossing the river here.
The only fatality ieported here
to-day was the drowing of a negro in
the lower part of the city. WVhile
driving threngh a hooded street hi
teain went down an embankment, and
the drive- was thrown nro deep water
and never came nip again.

Lost Legs and Arms---A Queer Bill.
A Washington letter says: "Nebody
here will speak seriously of the bill
introduced by Col. Frank Wolford, of i
Kentucky, to grant artificial lests and ~
arms to Confederate soldiers and sail- ~
ors, or their equivalent in money. It I
is considere<4 by Democrats from both
North and South as the idle diversion I
or vagary of an eccentric man. Colonel t
Wolford has many personal friends
who admire him for his simplicity, ~
manhood and tine war record, butr
there is not a Democrat in Congress r
who does not think he made a bad ~
break in introducing thIs bili. This r
act on the part of the gallant Kentucky a
Colonel hias subjected him to no end ~
of disagreeable discussion. The dis
cussion created by the act, however, is
only serious as far as it relates to thbe
peculiarities of Colonel Wolford.
Noboby, even Golonel W. himself,
imagines for a moment that the bill 3
will stand any show in the Honse. It c
will probably never see iight again. b
Nevertheless, the Republicans .will s
seize upon the bill and include it in
their campaign documents as a typical n
Democratic measure, looking to the si
granting of pensions to all Southern b
soldiers and sailors. Colonel Wolford's I
folly is a windfall to the opposition, a
and it is chiefly in this regard that a
Democratic membars regret the intro- n
duction of the bill." f

,me Accotut of tho Farewell Meeting
Giving a Good Idea of An.
(From the Daily Rlerd.)
Columbia's population, metaphori
ily speaking, poured en masse into
le Opera House again last night, all
iger to catch the last words that fell
-om Mr. Moody's lips and- to hear
le sweet symphony that came from
[r. Sankey's voice. As on the pre
ding night standing room was in
enand.
The services were opened by sing
ig "Along the River of Time We
iide." Messrs. Bliss and Sankey
oth took part. in the vacal exercises.
hrist Receiveth Sinful Men" was
ext sung; after which the congrega
was led in prarer by the Rev.
as. 11. Thornwell. In response to a
umber of requests, Mr. Sankey sang
tw "Ninety and Nine' with his ac
qtotmed Aweetness and expressioiis.
Rinwr the Bells of Heaven" was then.
tng by the whole assemblage, and
Ir. Moody stepped forward and made
short preliminary address before
oing into the regular sermon. These
emarks were made mainly in the
uterest of the Young Men's Christian
tssociation, with a view of strength
ning the work of this organization
md of enlisting sympathy in its behalf
le was strongly in favor of tbe Y. M
. A. and, said he, "I want. to conm
nend it to you. It is a great institu
ntion and should havei your warmest
t npa-hy. Suchan orgamzation with a
neely arranged place for young men

hiik is needed. There should be a
vell equipped building in this cily,
:osting from ten to twenty thousanad
ollars, for the use of the Y. M. C. A.,
ith reading rooms, gvmnasium and
uch like, that would attract and
nterest the young. Your churches
Lre closed at night through the week,
)t your saloons and places of vice are
iot. I don't think it is the love of
iquor, but that innate desire for
ociability, that attracts young men.
Chey want some place to spend their
veniings and meet their friends, and
bey'll find it. Business men should
ake hold of this matter; it's a good
vestment. But you say "it costs
omething." To be sure it does; but
re not your young men worth spend
ng something on? It cost $10,000 in
ennslvania not long ago to hang a
-onng man. Don't you think it much
eter to pay for saving than hanging
kim? The Y. -M. C. A. had been the
neans of accomplishing great good,
Ld he hoped it would be upheld here.
hen he had concluded this little talk
ie announced the text for his farewell
ermon Mark, 12th Chapter, part of
he 34th verse:- "Thou art not far
rom the kingdom of God."
Mr. Moody commenced by saying
hat tne men that thought they were
earest the kingdom of God in Christ's
lay, the Pharisees, were in fact the
arthest front it. They believed in
beir external devotion, but thsce are
f little consequence. There are a

As soon as lhe finished his sermon

to the inquiry mneeting at the Wash

Money for the Hendricks Monment.
John Holmanm, of Indiana, who has
een engaged in organizing the agen
is for the collection of the Hendricks
onument fund, reports very favora
le news from all quarters. The
riginal idea. he says, was to try and
aise a fund of $100,000. To accom
>ish this ten thousand agencies were
stablished and an average of ten dol
trs each was desired. The contribu
ins were to be as small as pe'ople
anted to give. The time set for the re
ort was time first of A pril, and quite a
umber of reports have already been
eceived from small agencies of from
:12 to $15. A bout $5,000 will be the
esult ill Washington and perhaps as
luch from Philadelphia and twice as
Inch from Ne w York. On the basis
f present returnls the fund will be up
ards of $150,000.

Grave Charges Against Prominent Citi
zens of Alabama and Louisiana.
On reports of special agents of the
interior department to the effect that
J. C. Calhoun, of Mobile, Ala., and
James Bailey, of Slidell, La., through
conspiracy with other parties, have
p'ocured the enitry of public lands ini]
Tammany Parish, Louisiana, for theI
fraudulent purpose of using the pine
timber thereon for the manufacture of:
turpentine, 'criminal suit has been ad~
vised through the department of jus
ice on the ground of conspiracy to
defraud the Government.
It is alleged that the parties entering
hese lands have boxed nearly 80,000
pine trees, from which more than
10,000 barrels of crude pine gutm havej1
been taken, from which was nmanutac
ured some 62,000 gallons of turpeni
tine and 10,000 barrels of rosini. It is
also alleged that the law as to res~dence
aiid cultivation has not been complied
with and that as soon as the trees havee
been madeo to yield all the guru of
which they arecapable, in consequence e
of which they (lie, the land is aban- i
doned as worthless. '
